  • Vegetable oil enough to coat the pan for frying
  • 12 corn tortillas preferably a day old, cut into wedges
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • 2 cups red chile sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/3 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup Mexican crema
  • 1/3 cup queso fresco crumbled
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
